Birma Coffee

“Smells better than taste haha. The roast is on the heavier side and slightly lacks flavor, but the caramelly aroma is pleasant. I always take a deep breath when I pass by. And it’s always very busy on Fridays. Finally visited on a calm weekday. Food looks alright.”

“Amazing, amazing coffee! Really good! Homemade brew. Also amazing location with a really great atmosphere to drink your coffee. We also got a chocolate muffin which was really good!”

Got a cold brew coffee and sat down to work. No places to sit inside, but it was a comfortable to sit outside + there was a light water spray around the street. The cold brew itself was delicious 😋 absolutely great coffee with or without milk. The taste was rich and not bitter. The price is relatively high, but not too much. I recommend a visit :)

BEST COFFEE in Israel!! I haven’t tried EVERY coffee shop yet in Israel but I have tried a large range to say that this coffee shop knows what it’s doing! They roast their own beans (something I believe every respectable coffee shop should do) and they do it well! Also one of the rare places in this country that also writes the roasting date on each bag of beans (which is important to check to make sure your getting a fresh roast). I went 25 minutes out of my way just to come here!!

I came here a 3-4 times to get some coffee and a pastry. The pastries are usually very good but unfortunately the coffee is always very watery and no cream or froth. It’s always somewhat disappointing because I feel like it’s a place that prides itself on its coffee. The place itself is no much more than cute. It’s not very functional, the space to order coffee is tiny and when there’s a line it easily becomes impossible to move in. The servers are nice usually. Except for one table and small bench out the front, the rest of the tables are in an alleyway to the side of the shop, which could be sweet but it is mostly shaded, cold and windy there. There’s no WiFi. I don’t blame them but that’s something to know. Thank you!

Love the workers & the vibes. They have super cute tote bags, quality beans, and adorable mocha pots. They also have fellow products here!! The matcha is high quality & they use oatly oat milk <3 Almond croissant is 💋 definitely want to try the blueberry muffin next time. 추천해요!! 말차 하고 오트우유 좋은 거 써요~

The place itself is small but gorgeous, full of coffee utensils which are highly priced but well selected. They sell their roasts of coffee on shelf, cold brew, as well as Ronnenfeldt teas. I smelled the matcha and found it to be too catered to the western palate, it’s not as fragrant as a tea as it is sweet smelling. Liba in city center has much better matcha in my opinion. The mocha I ordered was disappointing too, the coffee was not strong enough to pair with chocolate, and the chocolate in the mocha was Israeli style sinking at the bottom. I did not expect Israeli style solid chocolate in my coffee from a purportedly professional cafe… Not only that but they also closed the lid so I did not know it required stirring, nor was I told.

What a great little coffee shop on Emek Refaim, with a great bunch of guys working there. The coffee shop itself is tiny, but there's outdoor seating, which is both comfortable and very pleasant. The outdoor seating is shaded by trees so, even in summer ( in the morning, before intense heat hits Jerusalem) it's a pleasant place to drink coffee and chat. The menu is limited, there is a small selection of ready made sandwiches ( the cheese sandwich is excellent), and a selection of small cakes, pastries, etc. It's a delightful experience... yesterday was my first time there and certainly not my last. On my most recent visit my friends claim this is by far the best coffee in Emek Refaim....and they are the people who know
